Nice, thanks! It'll be easier to use the books. Will check the DB, then!

Ok, nice to see you're still on this mod (honestly thought it was dead)!

Good luck on that, will watch for it!

What the hell is FeralGameMode?

It's an optimisation feature available for the launchers of Lutris. Never had problem with it before, but apparently the mod StepUp couldn't be loaded with it.

Hah, that'll be a while.

Did you right click the bowl?

I did, but nothing worked.

Anyway, problem solved apparently. I don't know if it because i updated your mod (i was using 1.13.11) or because i changed a parameter to solve another bug for another mod.

I'm on linux, and use Lutris to launch the game. In the game's launcher parameters i had to untick FeralGameMode to make the mod StepUp to work. Maybe it helped for yours too.

@Lid Okay I've looked into the game code and the only thing I keep seeing is this "gamemodeauto" thing, which appears to be a tool or library. I've used gamemode before myself, though not anymore. I don't quite understand how it sneaks itself into the mod compilation process for Vintage Story source mods. Is it possible for you to uninstall that library / package and retry? (Alternatively, disable it somehow for this game, if that's at all possible - I can't find much on it at the moment.) Also, are you doing anything special to run the game, or do you just start it using Mono? (edit: If you use Lutris, try turning off gamemode for this game; I think that's in the System Options.)

Well, good job detective!

I indeed use Lutris, and when i deactivated Feral Game Mode, your mod is shown in the menu and works perfectly!

Thank you!

You can also download from the first post in this thread. What are the contents of the file? While I don't think that's it - are you running any other mods? Could see if disabling them changes anything.

Here is what i have in the file (i also tried the first post download, by the way):

using Vintagestory.API.Client;
using Vintagestory.API.Common;
using Vintagestory.GameContent;

[assembly: ModInfo("StepUp", Version = "1.2.0", Side = "Client",
	Description = "Doubles players' step height to allow stepping up full blocks",
	Website = "https://www.vintagestory.at/forums/topic/3349-stepup-v120/",
	Authors = new []{ "copygirl" })]
[assembly: ModDependency("game")]

namespace StepUp
{
	public class StepUpSystem : ModSystem
	{
		public override void StartClientSide(ICoreClientAPI api)
		{
			api.Event.PlayerEntitySpawn += player =>
				player.Entity.GetBehavior<EntityBehaviorControlledPhysics>().stepHeight = 1.2F;
		}
	}
}

And i'm indeed using other mods: Expanded Foods, Primitive Survival, Carry Capacity, Prospector Info, Wattle World, More Roads, Relightable Torch, modBooks and HUDClock. Ah, and i have Compatibility Lib too. I tried to remove every mods but the native ones and your mod, but it still don't show up. That's weird... I even tried to zip the file, just in case, but it doesn't work.

I'm not sure that all the mods are up to date, but they're not that old either. I'll check, though.

That's a strange error. I've never had this when I was playing on 1.14, and the mod also continues working on 1.15. Best advice I can give right now is making sure that the file you downloaded is the correct one.

I downloaded the only file available from the File tab, and i also tried the one from the Source tab with no luck. Are there other files i could try?

Thanks for your answer!

I checked the log and found the error: i made a folder in the Mod one to put some backups of the mods, and apparently the game was reading it too, which resulted in conflicts. Once i moved the culprit, it now shows correctly!

Since all mods i saw were only zip, i assumed creating a folder wouldn't harm. I was wrong. Thank you for your help, i never noticed the log! I have problems with other mods, i'll check if it's the same cause.

Hi there!

This mod doesn't seem to work for me. It appears in the mod menu, it's ticked, but once the world is loaded i can't access any of its stuff. The guide is even not there. I also tried in a newly created world, in creative this time, but it didn't work either. I'm on linux, VS 1.14.10. Thanks for your help!

Hi there!

I have a problem with the mixing bowl: i can't access it. I built one in survival mod, put it on the ground, but i couldn't figure out how to open its interface. No combination of key worked, and trying to put some food in it didn't work either. I also created a new world in creative, but no luck. Any clue? I'm on linux, VS 1.14.10. Thanks!

Hi there!

This mod isn't working for me. It doesn't even show on the mod menu, though the .cs file is in the folder. I'm on linux, VS 1.14.10. Thanks for your help!

Edit: Here is what i have in the game's log:

I'm having the same problem (but on linux), and the best solution i found is to lower the view distance. Above 156 i have lag spikes, mostly independantly of the other settings, making the game unplayable.

I hope it helps; it seems there is still room for performance upgrades on this game, as my system (approximatively like yours) should be adapted enough to run this type of games.

I would like to add durability to the inkwell with quill

That would be perfect!

Reading you, i'm starting to think i don't use your mod as you - mainly - intended. I don't properly write books (stories or quests), i use it to keep some informations and occasionally write a kind of diary.

By the way, it makes me thinking that i tried once to write on a sheet of paper with a pen and it didn't work. I can't remember if the UI appeared, but i couldn't write anything, and at first i thought i lost my pen because it disappeared. It seems that just the icon disappeared, for when i moved some stuff in my shortcut bar it reappeared.

And in the same line as the inkwell, i think the pens should also have a durability...

Anyway, thanks a lot for your answer, and have a nice day!

P.S. i don't know if it's relevant, but just in case, i should mention that i'm playing on linux.

You should be able to continue regardless by adding resin instead of honey. Yes, I see that I cannot empty out honey from the bowl into the barrel, I will look into it!

Funny how the mind just stick to a problem without looking for alternatives... I completely forgot about resin! Nice that you look about honey, though, as it is an easier resource for me... Thanks!

Edit: So, just used resin and i was able to try the ink! Just as a sidenote, i must say that i think the process is a bit resource consuming... loosing the quill, and more importantly the inkwell at each use is a bit punishing and not very realistic (even for a game). It prevents us (me, at least) to use your mod to do daily notes or keep a dynamic todo list, which were the reasons why i was attracted by it at first.

Still a great idea, and something that should definitively be added to the game, but the resources needed are, in my opinion, a bit too much, or we should be able to use the products several times.

Hey dot, thanks for this awesome mod!

Currently, we have problems crafting the iron sulfid + honey = iron ink recipe in a barrel. I am not able to place a portion of honey in the barrel when the barrel is already filled with iron sulfid. I tried to use buckets and bowls but every time the whole bucket/bowl with the honey portion is placed in the barrel ingredients field instead of a single portion of honey.

Hi there!

I'm having the same trouble: can't figure out how to do the sulfid+honey part... Thanks for any hint on that!
